<p>I am a first year colleg student who is undecide about major and career.</p>
<p>I like maths a lot and I am pretty good at it( 800 for SAT1 and SAT 2). I am taking calculus 1 now...and I feel it is really easy. Meanwhile, I am taking principles of microeconomics and I am pretty interested in it. What can I do for career if I major in maths and minor in business? </p>
<p>I have considered being an actuary. But that really requires a lot maths. I am not sure if I can deal with number for my whole life. But one thing good about being an actuary is the great payment. </p>
<p>I have considered MFE( master of financial engineering). But I am not sure if I can get in one of the finest MFE schools such as California Berkley, Chicago U, Princeton, stanford....I don't think there is any point attending a just-so-so MFE school. </p>
<p>To answer the original question, anything except perhaps engineering. If you majored in Economics and Math you could certainly find good and even great entry-level positions with six-figures (depending on school). That set of majors would close almost no doors. I would warn you, as you probably already know, math at the high school level is very different from math at the college level. I wouldn't let this discourage from trying math; however, it is best to be cautious considering that it is a rigorous major.</p>
<p>Econ + math is a very strong combination. Even if you realize math is too difficult later on in your major, you'll probably have already taken enough math courses to do actuary and financial engineering.</p>
<p>You might also need to take some computer programming courses as well.</p>
